Pray this Lazaroo with incentivized gratitude:

“Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding, Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her; those who hold her fast will be blessed.”
(Proverbs 3:13, 17-18)

Some people think doing the wise thing is no fun, Jesus.

But that’s a lie, isn’t it?
Straight from the pits of hell.

Pleasantness
P
eace
Life
Blessing

Those sound awfully good to me!

Pray this Lazaroo in ardent, longing love:

“The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.”
(1 Corinthians 2:10)

I can’t thank You enough for that, Jesus!

‘cause I sure can’t figure a whole lot of stuff out.

I can’t even figure myself out –
let alone other people and situations.

But it’s “the deep things of God” that I most long to understand!

I suspect that if I knew those

I’d be able to better understand what’s going on
everywhere else in the world.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“Count all the firstborn Israelite males who are a month old or more…”
(Numbers 3:40)

Why did You tell Moses to do that, Jesus?

It didn’t really matter to him, did it?

Oh, he might have been curious

but whether he understood or not
he was going to do it.

That’s a pretty rare commodity

but it’s one of the things You loved about him, wasn’t it?

With all my heart

I hope that’s one of the things You love about me.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“None of the rulers of this age understood it…”
(1 Corinthians 2:8)

What a good thing to keep in mind, Jesus.

Just because somebody has risen to power
doesn’t mean they can grasp Your wisdom.

Just because a person is wealthy
doesn’t mean they can successfully advise me.

Just because someone is popular
doesn’t mean I should follow in their footsteps.

The poorest, least powerful, least-liked person among us

can accomplish great things
with eyes fixed on You.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“Unlike their fathers…”
(Judges 2:17)

That can be a bad thing, Jesus

…or something very good.

Of course, no one is exactly like their father

so that’s understood.

But fathers leave examples for us to follow…or reject.

If my father was an evil person
may I not repeat his sins!

But if my father was a good man
help me walk in his footsteps

while never forgetting that the only perfect example that is always safe to follow

is Yours.
